re: What are each SEC teams general professional team allegiances?

NFL: Raiders

I do pull BAMA baws on Sundays. It's hard not be a Redskins fan right now with a roster full of BAMA players, especially on defense.

I don't care about the rest.

What are each SEC teams general professional team allegiances?

I would say teams in the SEC are mostly Braves fans with some LSU/A&M fans rooting for the Astros and then Missouri rooting for the Cardinals. Not sure about Kentucky fans (the Reds maybe?).

As for the NFL, I think most on the gulf coast are Saints fans, A&M are Cowboys fans mostly I'd assume, the few close enough to Tenn are Titans fans, and most UGA fans are Falcons fans. I guess Auburn would probably be split between Falcons/Panthers.

For the NBA, I don't think there are really many regional alliances. I think people from in and around close proximity to cities with teams are fans of those teams and others root for random teams.

NHL, I don't think many people in the southeast really care about hockey outside people from Nashville (*I could get on my sopabox about how much they really care, but don't want to derail the thread)

MLS, like hockey, I think the most of the only people that follow MLS live in a city with a team

Me personally, I doubt I root for any of the same professional teams most LSU fans do, but I'm from Memphis and now live in Nashville. For me, I root for the Grizzlies, the Titans, anyone playing the Preds, and for baseball I used to be a big Mariners fan but my passion for MLB baseball pretty much died when Griffey retired, although I do watch the playoffs and loosely follow what's going on with former LSU players and will root for their teams to have success if in the playoffs (i.e. I have rooted for the Astros the past few years in the playoffs because of Bregman and Harris)

At nighttime the Cardinals radio station reaches across the whole central US and even into Canada and Mexico(and has for decade before baseball began expanding so much) so they have a lot too, you could probably draw a line somewhere in the east where the cardinals fandom ends and braves begins.

NFL: Saints
MLB: Braves
NBA: fair weather Pelicans

I think it is more like this for Florida:

South Florida

Football: Dolphins
Basketball: Heat
Baseball: Braves/Marlins -Braves go way back. Spring training in WPB for decades
Hockey: Panthers


North and Central Florida

Football: Buc/Jags - Still lots of Buc fans in Jax area.
Basketball: Magic
Baseball: Braves/Rays -Braves historically
Hockey: Lightning

-NFL: Saints/Giants
-NBA: Grizzlies I would guess, but no true allegiance IMO.
-MLB: Braves/Cards
-NHL: Preds
-MLS: N/A

State:

NFL: Saints/Cowboys/(probably Titans now)
NBA: none but if you had to pick one Grizzles
MLB: Braves/Cardinals
NHL: Same as NBA and if had to pick one Preds.
MLS: none but if had to pick one Atlanta.
